Seismologist Lucy Jones thoughts on San Andreas‘ Accuracy. With Brad Peyton‘s San Andreas (2015) premiering today in US theaters, questions on its scientific accuracy have been raised. Many of those questions, the film’s key plot points, and set pieces have been addressed by U.S. Geological Survey Seismologist Lucy Jones. American astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson started this commentary trend with Titanic, Gravity, and Interstellar, and it shows no signs of abating. Like Tyson, Jones has released her thoughts via Twitter.
